It's not just that I like to crochet, I just can't stop doing it! I've written one book and contributed to a couple of others. If there are any publishers out there looking for an author for a brand new crochet book, look no further...

I am happy to take on commissions – click the link at the top of the main page to email me.
I work in a wide range of media, including papier maché, crochet and knitting, embroidery and collage. This is just a small selection of work...

Collecting Vintage Books...

My collection of vintage annuals started with a single book, found on holiday about 10 years ago. The book was falling apart, so I salvaged some of the pages to use as collage material. From then on, when I came across an old annual, as long as the price was right I bought it. I wasn′t prepared to pay too much. I cleared some shelves in the guest room and, once these were full, I promised myself I would stop collecting. I didnt stop but I did slow down. I have photographed the covers of some of the best ones and have created a photo album to share. I will also put some of these on Pinterest where I am sure they will be discovered by others who love the colourful, quirky, nostalgic illustrations.
